Among this year's crop of films hand-selected by legendary film critic Roger Ebert at this year's 13th annual Ebertfest was "Louder than a Bomb," a documentary by Greg Jacobs and Jon Siskel about various participants in a Chicago-based poetry-slam competition. After the screening and a Q&A, five members of the Steinmetz High School team—called "The Steinmenauts"—performed some of their poetry live onstage! Electrifying stuff indeed!
In this video, Lamar Jorden performs his poem "I Think, Therefore I Slam," and then (from left to right) Kevin Harris, Charles Smith, She'kira McNight and Jésus Lark perform the group poem "Counting Graves."
